Patricia walked in the great hall and found an empty seat. She strolled over and sat down. She had the most wonderful day yesterday. Well it wasn't to wonderful to start with but, ended wonderfully. Her and Richard were finally going out.
She was so happy. She has never really had a boyfriend before.
and it made her feel...well.... happy and cared for.
The only problem was, that she couldn't go to Hogsmead without Parental consent. And well she didn't want to go there. An dwell she could try muggle food any time. Plus tonight her and Richard were supposed to have dinner. She was pretty happy about that, but rather nervous to say the least. She has eaten with him before, but never as a couple. It was completely new to her. What would they do?
How would they treat each other? She wondered.
She then stuffed a bite of a roll in her mouth thinking about what will happen tonight when she herd name being called. She jolted her head to the call.

Richard walked briskly into the Great Hall, hoping he looked OK. He never cared about how he looked, but it was his first proper date with Patricia, and, well, ever, and he wanted it to go alright. Scanning the room impatiently as he tried to make his hair not fall into his face, he spotted Patricia. He smiled. She hadn't seen him yet, and was eating some bread. Hoping he wasn't about to disappoint her, Richard called out her name. When she jerked her head up, Richard grinned and waved, sweat beginning to fall down his face. Please don't let me mess it up, he thought as he began to walk over.
"Hey, Trish," he said, clearing his throat. Grinning nervously, he sat down next to her.
"How are you?" He asked finally after a moment's pause. He really hoped thid date wouldn't be their last, but he had no idea what to do. Was he messing it up already?

Patricia truned her head and spotted Richard. She waved at him. He then came and sat down. She put her bread on her plate. "hear goes" she thought and sighed a heavy sigh. "I'm Great how bout you?" she asked with a smile.
She really didn't want this to go bad. She really liked Richard, and hoped after toinight, he would still like her the same, mabey more.

Richard smiled awkwardly.
"Yeah, I'm great too. Uh, what have you been up to?" He asked, a little worried that that was the best question he could come up with.
"I mean, have you...uh...what have you been up to?" He finished, blushing. Taking a big bite out of his bread, he chewed slowly. Then, deciding it would be best if he was just honest, he lowered his hand and stared at Patricia.
"OK, as we have already established, I am pretty bad at this. Let's start again. Hi, Patricia! It's really good to see you again. I brought you something," he said, standing up and reaching behind his back. With a bright grin, he pulled his hand out, pretending to clutch a rose. Since being serious wasn't working, he would go for silly. If he could get just one laugh out of her, then it would all be worth it.
"This was the best one they had," he said, trying to sound apologetic, but failing. As he passed it to her, he let out a chuckle and sat down.
"So...have anything for me?" He asked, laughing.

Patrica saw Richard hold something behind his back. She hoped it wasn't anything to big,because well she would feel bad, if he got her something and she didn't get him anything.
She then slowly realized he was holding an imaginary rose.
She burst out with a chuckle
"ha-ha.. Richard it is beautiful. I love it must have cost you a fortune" she said sarcasticly.
"Oh and yes I do have something for you as well"she said seriously. She pulled off one of her rubber black bracelet's and handed it to Richard with a smile.
"It cost me so much. I pickeit out special, just for you" she said with a sarcastic cry, and then a smile played across her face
She was having fun.

Richard clasped the bracelet.
"Oh, thankyou, Patricia! I shall treasure it until the day I die!" He cooed smiling, sitting down. He placed it down on the seat next to him.
"Something this special needs a seat all to itself," he said, nodding briskly. Richard then gave a smile.
"Sooo...which do you prefer? Red roses or pink roses? Because that's a very special rose, it changes colour depending on your mood. In fact, it can change to other colours as well. Black means you're sad, yellow means you're cheerful, pink means you're content, red means you're loved and passionate, and white means you're feeling quite childish," he said, grinning. This was fun, it was turning into something so relaxed and easy.
"So, what colour is your rose?"

Patrica laughed. "oh I love those kind. I have always wanted one myself" she said with a laugh and placed the rose down next to her plate.
"umm... well mine seems sort of, how you say, Rainbow!" She said with a laugh.
"Oh and that Bracelet is very special as well."she said with a nod of her head.
"When you wear it.....You wear it" she said sarcastically with a laugh.
"I found it at the bottom of the lake!"she said with a raise of her eyebrows.
"I had to get it from the mermaids. They don't like me very much to say the least" she said with a laugh.
"So when you wear that bracelet, KNOW that you are wearing that bracelet" she laughed.
She was enjoying herself.
This was easy having a boyfriend.

Richard chuckled, and then pretended to gape.
"Yes, I met those mermaids once. They said they had something in for a blonde girl who stole...a...bracelet! Was that really you? I am in awe," he said, shaking in head in wonder.
"Is it true that you stole it from the Princess, who vowed she would get it back, no matter what price?" He continued, trying not to laugh. This was good. This was easy. Richard was having a great time. Rachel had been right, he thought, grinning excitedly.

Patricia laughed.
"A blonde girl you say?" she said with her eyebrows raised, trying not to smile
"Oh my Merlin......I am a goner. Just wait! Pretty soon I will be popping up daisys.....Thanks to me stealing the magical Bracelet."she said sarcastically.As her blonde Hair fell in front of her eyes. She quickly put it behind her ear.
She covered her mouth and gasped. She then put her hand over her head dramatically, as if she was going to faint.
"You know my Secret, How will I go on"she said with a smile
She was having a great time, she liked that she could play with Richard like this and not be embarrassed.

Richard widened his eyes, and put his hand over his mouth.
"Don't worry, Patricia, I won't tell a soul it was you...in fact, I'll wear this necklace so that you won't get...punished," he said slowly, finally bursting out laughing.
"Oh my goodness, we are special, aren't we?" He asked finally, taking a long drink of his water. This was how it was meant to be, he decided. Just having some fun.

Patricia laughed. "Oh yes love, Mighty Special"she the smiled and took a sip of her water.
"I swear the men in the white coats, had better come soon. We might run away again. Knowing us!"
She said with a chuckle.
This was fun just the two of them, having fun. It wasn't awkward for sure. It was like she was with a really good friend, that she really liked. Differently. But she could at least talk to him. that was always a plus.

Richard took a bite out of his bread and turned to Patricia, smiling.
"So, have you finished your detentions yet? Rach has only really just started, hasn't she? I've always wanted to know, what are detentions like? Tell me all," he said, grinning. It was true, he had never had a detention before, and he couldn't imagine having to do it for a week. He didn't even know what you had to do in a detention.

Patricia smiled and took a bite of her rice. She then wiped her mouth and swallowed, then looked up at Richard.
"Well.....it is not as bad as people confirm it is. It actually is pretty fun. That is of course once the teacher is gone."She said with a wink.
"But it all depends on what you have done actually. Now me personally I always get the worst treatment, because I have done such bad things. That throw the punishment it on me, more worse then normal" she sighed
"Sometimes, I have to right lines, or grade papers, and if it is really bad... I have to sit there doing nothing......but I have fun doing nothing. Because stuff runs through my head, if I am board and.... well it gives me time to think about...Well all the stuff I have done. All the really bad stuff I have done"
she then rolled her eyes and sighed. She than took a sip of her water.

Richard nodded, wide eyed.
"Wow, that's so...strange. I mean, it's good that you can do that, but I'm not sure I would survive. I would dissolve into a little puddle of embarrassment, or something," he said, smiling wryly. Then he cocked his head to the side and smiled.
"What bad stuff? What bad stuff have you done, Patricia?" He teased. He couldn't imagine her doing anything bad, but perhaps be was biased.

"oh horrible stuff" she teased.
"but seriously I have been pretty ruthless. Rachel and I well" She thought maybe Rachel didn't want anyone to know this. About her at least. So she didn't tell Richard about Rachel.
"I was not a very nice person." She bit her lip
"I used to say horrible things to people" she lowered her head.
"i would tease people for the fun of teasing" she sighed.
"I was very stuck up. I wasn't nice to anyone"
she then perked up.
"But I am am trying this new thing. Not to be so judgmental on others and be nice"

"Well, the important thing is you're trying. I'm proud of you. You and Rachel," Richard said, smiling. RB had only told him a bit about her life, and how she was, but it was enough for him to know she had been through a lot, and was amazing. Now, hearing Trish had been through similar things, he felt a rush of pride for her too.
"You can't change the past, but you can the future. Good on you," he continued, taking a sip of water. Patricia deserved happiness.

Patrica nodded with delight.
"Thank you."
She took a sip of her water.
"I have been really trying. It is new but I am working on it"she said with a smile.
"you know I wish I was like you Richard" she said with smile

Richard jerked his head up and looked at Patricia quizzically.
"Like me? Why would you want to be like me?" He asked curiously. He couldn't think of anything worse; he was shy, he stuttered, he was overprotective, he couldn't connect with most people...why would she want to be like him?
"Seriously, why?" He asked. He wasn't being rude, he honestly was curious as to why. Richard smiled, waiting for her answer.

Patricia smiled at his reaction. "Well your nice, friendly, You have never had detention. Let alone know what it is like." She sighed
"I am rambling again. Well your just so good and sweet. And I like that"
she said with smile.

Richard smiled.
"Thankyou," he said, blushing.
"You're very sweet," he continued, taking a sip of his water again.
"What did you do today?" He asked after a moment. As much as he liked hearing Patricia compliment him, he always got embarrassed, so he tried to change the subject.
"Did you see RB? Or Harmony?" He asked, referring to a sweet Hufflepuff student that he was friends with. Well, he hoped he was friends with. Richard wasn't quite sure about the whole friendship time frame, where one turned from an aquaintance to a friend, so he kept his mouth shut.
